"We did shut down. We did refuse the customers coming in but there was one customer that take to-go only," Lung explained.

That's not what the report says.

Inspectors found the door open, the open sign flashing, and customers lined up by the cash register where an employee was putting BBQ pork on a cutting board.

They also saw kitchen employees actively thawing duck and pork skin.

Cooked noodles, sausage, pork, roast duck and sauce were all at unsafe temperatures. A handsink clearly wasn't being used for handwashing, and floors were puddled with water.

Inspectors found a can opener and holder caked with old food debris, a rusted meat cleaver and dirty bulk containers, shelving and other equipment.

Then there's the insect-covered fly paper rolls hanging in two separate areas over food and clean kitchenware, as well as live flies in the kitchen.

Other closures include Sushi Mon Japanese restaurant on South Maryland Parkway, shut down for repeat critical and major violations including food at unsafe temperatures, dirty kitchenware and lots of flies.

Quality Food Service is a Dirty Dining repeat offender. This time, their No. 5 truck was shut down for an imminent health hazard, lack of adequate refrigeration resulting in a lot of food in the temperature danger zone.

South Philly Steaks and Fries on South Grand Central Parkway was shut down for operating without hot water.

Asian BBQ & Noodle, Sushi Mon and South Philly Steaks and Fries all reopened the next day with A grades.

Quality Food Service truck No. 5 is still closed.
